Over the several years since The Dane departed the hallowed halls of his high school (where he successfully graduated not being able to tell a thesis statement from a crowbar), he has worked to develop his writing to serve a manner both thoughtful and humourous. Besides his consistent journaling, The Dane has touched on a number of subjects from theology to ethics to philosophy to criticism. His writing has alternately been described by his readers as wry, witty, serious, thoughtful, pedantic, snarky, hateful, prideful, fun, enjoyable, long-winded, cool, hilarious, and dumb.
The contents in this archival project document the evolution of The Dane's style from a pedantic crypt-robber bungling to make points that oughtn't to have been made to the fun-loving scalawag hit-n-runs that so many have come to enjoy this very day. We hope you'll enjoy this presentation of Danish Boogiepop.
